Places to visit in New Zealand - Mt Arthur - Nelson Tasman
Mt Arthur Summit WalkSUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS:
FOLLOW MY INSTAGRAM:
Mt Arthur is a 4 hour hike(one way) to the summit from the Flora carpark. The carpark is 1.5 hrs drive from Nelson and I would recommend having a 4WD as the track is quite rough, especially in the wetter months.
It is a beautifully diverse walk, starting in the trees, then breaking in to the open plains then in to rocky mountain terrain. In winter the top is covered in snow.
Please bring enough water for your whole trip and check the weather before you go as conditions can change very quickly and it is a very exposed walk. Always tell some one where you are going and when you are to be back, especially if going alone, the New Zealand wilderness can be very unforgiving.

Taupo, New Zealand Cities
Taupo, New Zealand Cities - Taupo Travel, New Zealand, TaupoTravel Videos HD, World Travel Guide
Taupo is a town on the shore of Lake Taupo in the centre of the North Island of New Zealand. It is the seat of the Taupo District Council and lies in the southern Waikato Region.
Taupo has a population of 23,100 (June 2013 estimate). In 1953, Taupo was officially constituted as a borough, but from 1989 it has been administered by the Taupo District Council, the district including both Taupo itself and the surrounding hinterland. Despite this, it is occasionally referred to as a city. It is the 20th largest urban area in New Zealand, and the second-largest in the Waikato Region (behind Hamilton).
The name Taupo, by which the town is commonly known, is the shortened version of its full name, Taupō-nui-a-Tia. Literally translated from Māori language, Taupō-nui-a-Tia means The great cloak of Tia, where Tia is the name of the discoverer of the lake.
In 2009 a team of Taupo citizens won the TV2 programme Top Town.
Geography
Taupo is located at the outlet of Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest lake, in the northeast part of the lake where it discharges to the Waikato River. The river flows over one of New Zealand's most spectacular waterfalls, Huka Falls, a short distance north of the town. Taupo is a centre of volcanic and geothermal activity and hot springs suitable for bathing are located at several places in the vicinity. The volcanic mountain of Mount Tauhara lies six kilometres (4 mi) to the east. Some forested area exists near Taupo, with understory vegetation consisting of certain shrubs and ferns.
Somewhat to the northeast are significant hot springs. These springs are the site of occurrence of certain extremophile micro-organisms, that are capable of surviving in extremely hot environments.

Taupo is situated on a stretch of State Highway 1, running concurrently with State Highway 5. It is situated 53 km North of Turangi. It is one of the few centres in New Zealand that were never linked to the rail network.
The small but growing satellite town of Kinloch, where a Jack Nicklaus golf resort is being constructed, is 20 kilometres west along the lake.

Climate
The climate of Taupo is cold and windy when compared to other parts of the North Island. It is due to the town being located inland which results in the accumulation of dry air causing severe frost during winter. However snowfall in Taupo is rare, although snow fell on August 2011 due to a prolonged cold period in New Zealand. The summer climate in Taupo is mild with maximum temperature reaching 23 degrees and with a minimum of 10 degrees.
